Maui Seaside Hotel

Maui Seaside Hotel was an absolute dream. It completely blew us away in the best way. After a disappointing experience at an another hotel in Waikiki, we came here with low expectations to stay for two nights, but from the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth, aloha, and a sense of peace. The rooms may be on the smaller side, but they were clean, cozy, and more than enough for what we needed. The hospitality was unmatched. The staff were very kind and genuine. You could feel that they cared, and it made the whole stay feel special. And the pool area? STUNNING. The views were absolutely gorgeous - surrounded by swaying palm trees, with the ocean and mountain just beyond, and the sun casting golden light on everything. It was so relaxing we didn't want to leave. At night, we sat by the water and looked up at the stars. This hotel is a true hidden gem - peaceful, authentic, and full of charm. We will absolutely be back, and we'll recommend it to everyone we know. Thank you for making our Maui trip unforgettable. 🌺

Great little spot for under $200. The pool and grassy area was great to hang out at and recently updated. Needed more than 1 umbrella though. The staff was really great! Rooms were very small but clean and comfortable A/C units. People were swimming in beach in front of the hotel but it had some not great looking water. I would stay again.

Great hotel for the value! We were only in Maui for the night before we hopped to Kauai and couldn’t be more pleased with the Maui Seaside Hotel. The staff were so helpful, there’s a free shuttle to the airport, and it’s located right on the beach. The rooms aren’t brand new but they were spotless, the grounds are beautiful and you’re right on the beach. There’s a beautiful pool and fun lawn games for the kids. Would highly recommend for anyone passing through Maui.

This was the perfect spot after a long day of travel / later flight and a flight out the next day to Kauai. The front desk was so friendly and the rooms were updated. The resort was adorable. I wish we had another night. Make sure you eat breakfast at the restaurant. It was delicious and you get tons of food with great service.

Positive: The front desk staff is friendly and helpful. The house keeping ladies always greeting and saying hello. The rooms are perfect, especially the pricing compared to other hotels nearby. Negative: Theres only three washers/three dryers and one washer and dryer was down. Besides that, it should be 24 hours accessable. Especially for familes where you wash clothes after your kids fall asleep. The hotel would be perfect if the hours changed!

Stayed only 1 night here, before we flew to Big Island. Although conveniently close to the airport I don't recall hearing any airplanes. The room we booked had not been updated for a while but the 40 dollars extra for the upgrade to a very nicely modernised room was more than worth it. Staff were very kind and helpful. Nice pool. Also close to Paia (15min drive), where we had lunch, nice little beach town with lots of small shops and restaurants.

I was honestly blown away by this hotel. My flight was delayed and the airline gave me a room here for the night. I was expecting an old run down room but got the opposite. I stayed in one of the rooms that were renovated 2 months ago. It was absolutely beautiful and so nice. The staff at the hotel are super friendly and welcoming. The common spaces at the hotel look new too and give a cozy island vibe. The restaurant at the hotel is some of the best food and service I had while on Maui. The beach in front of the hotel is nice too. There is a lovely cafe and bakery a short walk from the hotel. Honestly I liked staying here more than my condo in west Maui. The proximity to the airport is a huge plus. I would have loved to stay more nights here. If you’re considering booking absolutely do it in one of their renovated rooms, you won’t regret it.

My experience here was amazing! Felt like home away from home. Amenities were top notch! Fe and Josaia at the front desk are so helpful and friendly. My mom and i had the best time in Maui staying here. We loved that there were multiple areas to lounge outside, and Tante’s restaurant connected to the hotel was amazing!!

Surprising little gem. I was able to stay in one of the remodeled rooms, no balcony or view but seriously, walk outside. A window view is not why you're here. From beginning to end: -the staff were incredible. Kind, attentive and helpful. -there is a restaurant on site but was closed for a private party (graduation weekend). They did offer a discount if guests wanted takeout but there are plenty of options close. -parking is tight but doable. It was at capacity but not sure if this was due to the many folks showing up for the dinner event. -pool has games during the day, comfy seating and a great ambiance with lanterns and fire pits in the evening. -most rooms will not be around the pool. There is a nicely landscaped "garden walk" towards the new tower of rooms (tower being said lightly. I think there are three floors). -the new remodel room had a small, dorm size fridge, coffee maker, and island area which was wonderful. The only thing missing here was a microwave for reheating some leftovers. -there is a water filling station in the lobby which is super handy. -shuttle to the airport was great. Make sure if you need it you make your reservation as soon as you check in as it's shared with multiple pick ups and will fill quickly. My time slot only had room for 3 folks because of it being filled prior to our stop. Runs on the hour. Uber/lyft is available, prompt and reasonably priced. -I could hear doors and noise in the evening but nothing out of the ordinary for hotels. -there is 24 hr security as well who are also very friendly. All in all, had I been staying longer a microwave would have been the only thing I'd wanted. The new rooms and decor were very nice.

The common area at this place is super nice. The parking is a little tight and the rooms are a bit small but it's perfect when you need a day hotel transitioning from your stay to the airport or etc. The pool is nice and cool, which is great for a hot day and the view down to the ocean is amazing and lots of lawn chairs for everyone to relax. Highly recommend this place and next time we might stay here for a little bit just for fun. The room inside has a pretty small fridge so can't hold a lot and we had two queen size beds, but the room itself was pretty small. There's a small window AC unit that did OK but for a day above 80 I would question if it could really keep the room cool.

This hotel looked nice from the photos online and the exterior trappings, but unfortunately there were some negatives when we stayed there in reality. The photos on their website and on all the review sites, make it appear that all the rooms are around the pool or garden and have nice bright interiors. That is the farthest thing from the truth. There are about six of those fancy rooms that are around the pool and the rest are down dark/dingy hallways shooting off of the central pool area. We were in one of the dingy hallway rooms. There are some positives to this place, though: -It is affordable and close to a lot of the main attractions. -There is a little restaurant next door called Tante's that is super good. -The pool itself is very nice and clean. -The little private beach area in the back was cool, with a cute row/barrier of large rocks. -The people at the front desk were very nice and even held our luggage for us on our last day, since our flight didn't leave until later at night and we wanted to explore more. Now for the rest of the negatives, aside from the dingy rooms they don't show you in the property photos: -The walls are VERY thin. Be prepared to hear what every single person down your hallway is saying and doing. -The design is VERY outdated. The dark hallway our room was down (and the room itself) felt like a very cheap 80s motel. -Parking was $15 a day. I'm not surprised by that really, but just be aware of that if you are renting a car. -And the worst part - there were GIANT yellow stains on BOTH of our beds (shown in photos). We had to put down towels in those spots where the yellow stains were just to be able to sleep in the beds. While this place did have some good qualities, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it due to the negative aspects mentioned here. You definitely get what you pay for with this "affordable" hotel.

We stayed here on our last visit to Maui. Good value, clean and comfortable. While the rooms are small the beds are comfortable and the view is amazing. The laundry was helpful and less expensive than the place we stayed in Waikīkī. We will be back when we visit Maui again. They do have a free shuttle to the airport.

We spent just one night here at the end of our visit to Maui, as we needed to be near the airport for an early morning flight and honestly I wish we could've stayed here longer. It is recently renovated and the cutest little boutique style motel and you can tell that so much thought went into the renovation plans. The room was not only super cute but was very comfortable. We loved our short stay here and would absolutely visit here again!

Was considering staying here for a short family trip but after the initial phone call to ask about availability and price I decided not to. the person on the phone was annoyed by my questions and sighed loudly several times after I asked simple pricing questions. This poor attitude just made me think how they'd react if we had a room issue while we were staying there. No thanks. Moved on to the next one.

A house fumigation brought us and our two dogs (added fee) here for three nights. I had my doubts about the hotel in general, but I'm happy to report I was totally wrong! ENTRANCE: Located along the busiest street on Maui, the motel-like facade is well-maintained. In-house restaurant, Tante's Island Cuisine flanks the open-air lobby that looks out onto the hotel's pool. Buildings are no higher than three levels. PARKING: It's all free, self-parking as no valet service is available. Just obtain a dash pass from the front desk. LOBBY: The decor is trendy with modern lighting, furniture and a water bottle filling station. Self-service luggage carts were available here as the had no bell staff. Live music was happening on this particular Friday afternoon with a tiny audience in attendance. The hotel's ice machine is also nearby, with the empty space next to it doing duty as a pop-up bar that served wine. PUBLIC AREAS: All clean & tidy. They also have the nicest, greenest, weed-free grass I've ever seen! ROOM: We had a requested first floor room due to having our dogs in tow, which was across the pool. Instead of a balcony, we had a relaxing front porch to hang out in. The room was on the smaller size, clean, with a king bed, strong window a/c that wasn't overly noisy and almost-blackout curtains. My only complaint was that the gaudy fluorescent hallway light & bathroom light shared a switch, so there was no way of having a nightlight on. BATHROOM: While the single basin loo is in definite need of a renovation, I loved the bathtub's strong water pressure, shower head and quick drain! While I always bring my own bar of soap when traveling, the hotel's provided product I used for hand washing had an oddly rough texture to it. AMENITIES: A mini refrigerator, hair dryer and coffee maker were the only items in the room. Everything else needs to be requested. POOL: Simple, city-like rectangular design surrounded with modern fire pits and umbrella-covered lounge chairs. Great place to hangout at night. Surrounding noise can be intrusive from Kaahumanu Avenue. BEACH: Not the softest sand but very calm waters due to the man-made jetty's. I personally wouldn't swim here due to the neighboring harbor pollutants. RESTAURANT: Tante's served three square meals daily and also specialized in Filipino cuisine. SERVICE: The male front desk agent was very friendly & welcoming. TOURIST TIP: Two malls are close by. Head to Maui Mall for sit down restaurants and Queen Kaahumanu Center for fast casual dining. OVERALL: Comfortable digs but pricey at $300+ a night.

We had a double bed unit, room 3029, which was located in the other building behind the main lobby area. Our room was a bit far away but we didn't mind too much since it was for one night. Facilities were clean and really very nice for a three star hotel. Our room was a bit dated, but no complaints other than that. Bed was comfortable for my husband and I, even with me having back issues. Shower was GREAT. AC and fan kept us cool during our stay. Would like to mention one tiny thing though- we asked for the later check out (3pm) which is an additional 60 bucks; no problem. The issue is, in the morning I checked with the desk attendant, to be on the safe side and they did not have our reservation noted. Parking overnight was 15 plus tax. Online it states the parking is included. Conveniently located minutes from shops, the airport, gas station and plenty of beaches. Hotel offers airport transfers by reservation

The staff are amazing to deal with, I needed a ground floor room for the day for my mom to stay away from the sun. We had a midnight flight so this was a wonderful place near the airport to just relax. The view is awesome. Definitely recommended a stay here. I cannot wait to come back. Thank you for your hospitality, we had a great day there and look forward to staying longer next trip.

One of the cheaper options on Maui that won't break your bank but is also a nice place to stay. The staff is very friendly and texted us throughout our stay to ensure that we had everything that we needed. There is a relaxing area in the shade just outside the lobby (and the lobby is nice to relax or print boarding passes or get hot or cold water). They also have a nice pool area that has chairs around fire-pit like structures you can turn on at night to relax and have a few laughs with others in your party. If you want to dip your feet in the water but not swim they have two chairs in the pool you can lay down on. There is a good view from the pool of the water and just a few steps away is the beach. They offer a few events daily from morning yoga by the pool to live music at night. The rooms are nice and spacious. There are a few options for type of room to stay in depending on size and if you want to have a place to sit out front of your room or not. They have a mini-fridge in your room but no microwave. You have to ask the front desk in order to use the hospitality room. There no zero flow problem in the shower. Definitely a lot of pressure coming at you. However, for my 5'10" and above crowd the showerhead is about 6' up so you might struggle with it. If you are taller I recommend tilting the showerhead up and stepping to the back of the shower. You'll still have to duck head down a bit to wash your hair but overall feels great. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel for your eating pleasure or you can go across the street for great Italian food or of course drive around or order in. Consider this place if you are look for a place close to the airport but far enough away not to hear it. Many tours will pick you up at your hotel as well.

My partner and I found this hotel while looking for a centrally-located and affordable place to get a quick night's rest. The following day we had reservations at the crack of dawn to witness the sunrise above Haleakala (roughly an hours drive away). It is also very close to the Maui airport, the town of Kahului and the start to Road to Hana via Paia. I booked a Garden View King Bedroom through their website for the best deal--just shy of $350. They are currently waiving amenity fees (unsure how long that'll last) and there is also free parking which was a perk. There were some interesting people strolling the parking lot so just be sure to not store any belongings in your car and remember to lock the doors. The other thing thing I didn't care for is the hotel was fairly large and split into several buildings that made it feel somewhat disjointed. For instance, you couldn't walk on the grass along the shore from where our room was to the lobby/pool area. There was a locked fence separating us. Upon checking in, we ended up in a room with a partial ocean view. There was a sliding door that exited onto a small patio which obviously had the best harbor views. At night I could see a massive cruise ship's lights sparkling in the distance. Like many hotels, this was either an apartment complex or hotel that has recently been renovated into a hip place to stay. There are various murals, Insta-worthy opportunities, filtered water machine, and ATM machine. Cute indeed. The room was small but all we required. Bathroom was nicely remodeled and bright. A mini fridge, coffee machine, and AC machine all in a small nook with space to hang clothes. Most importantly, the king bed was comfortable. All in all, a fair four stars.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating to my needs. I loved being able to walk out to the small beach they have. They had a nice pool to swim in and a nice area to be outside and relax. There were cats, which I did not mind at all. The room I stayed in was very nice. Had a washer and dryer for clothes. Overall had a good experience, would stay here again

Beautiful inviting view and great customer service Josiah was smiling and happy made me feel as if I was at home.

Overall, we had a pleasant experience at Maui Seaside Hotel. The staff were friendly & informative, & the facility & our room were clean. This place has that island cozy vibe we were looking for. It is located near the Kahului airport & "must have" places such as a Longs Drugs & Costco. Another great thing about this place is that it is right next to Tante's Island Cuisine (so travelers can enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner without going out of the premises). My only concern is that the wifi isn't secure & can be weak during heavy rain type of weather. However, we recommend this place to stay for travelers :)

Amazing hotel and friendly service. Steps away from the beach and conveniently located next to Hoaloha beach and Maui marketplace on Sunday. Can't wait to visit again. Aloha!

First time staying here and I did check Yelp for reviews and it was a 50/50 shot! Because I've read good and bad reviews! Our room was decent tho! The only real issue in the room was she shower curtain rod and curtain. The curtain would not stay closed and it's because the sag in the curtain rod. So my wife used the two small hand towels (see photos) to keep it closed so water did not flood the floor. Also my past experience with hotels they typically ok with early check in and late check out with locals, but I paid $37 for early check in and $70 for late check out! We came to Maui to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary, so we knew we would be out all day doing stuff and seeing as much of Maui because it's a first time for us both! But I think I over paid for our room but it is what it is! Overall some places of the hotel look run down like general lights and carpets outside our room. Oh and there is no beach access that I saw because there is a fence at the edge of the property so we didn't go down to the water! Other than that our experience here was great, and can't wait to come back to see more of Maui!

Location - great! Close to airport and walking distance to an amazing coffee shop, Whole Foods, the mall, and more. Cleanliness - they sprayed for bugs (good thing), the sheets were stained (throw these out), kinda dirty in rooms, outdated too Price - unreasonable for what you get. No fitness center, no free breakfast, pool has limited hours, no additional amenities. Our poolside room was really small! I'm not sure what we were paying for. We've stayed in other hotels in the area before which were cheaper and offered more. We only stayed here because we were traveling with a group. Staff - the housekeepers were really nice, the front desk staff was hit and miss. Other - (+/-) Glad they had hospitality room with a microwave. Loved being next to the ocean! Had to pay for parking. Restaurant had limited hours and was nasty!

This laid-back, re-designed, family-run hotel that is 2 miles from the airport is about the BEST deal on Maui for those looking to save a little money that can be better spent on activities! Located near Kahului Harbor, this is a perfect central location to explore the entire island. The shuttle van to and from the airport is extremely convenient & comfortable. The staff is SO WONDERFUL! It is diagonally across the street from the restaurant BISTRO CASANOVA and WHOLE FOODS and LONGS DRUG STORE is also nearby. Also try Momona bakery and coffee shop down the street. Great hotel with super clean rooms with amazing AC!!

2025 Newly renovated rooms have barnyard style bathroom doors that doesn't close all the way. It leaves a gap, so anyone can watch you shower through the glass shower door from the entryway. Even if they remove the stopper that is there to stop it from hitting the countertop outside of the bathroom it still leaves a gap that can see into the shower from the side angle. The lighting for the countertop on the mirror is very weak. We had to use our cell phone flashlight to do our paperwork.

My journey with Maui Seaside Hotel began before we arrived on Maui. I meticulously looked for hotel accommodations, knowing I did not want to be in a resort area. I nearly booked another hotel but changed my mind and booked here. Reading that it was Hawaiian-Owned sealed the deal for me. Supporting locally owned businesses is a huge part of my values. I read about the different rooms in detail before choosing the poolside rooms. When we arrived and the representative checked us in, she showed me where our room was on the map. I immediately told her I specifically chose a room with a "pool view," and the room she showed on the map was away from the pool in the "tower." I told her I wanted what I paid for. She assured me that this other room was much bigger. I reluctantly agreed and my son and I walked towards the room. I was already dissatisfied over walking past construction to get to the room. We walked into the room and as promised, it was huge. My son was happy but something bothered me. I opened the curtains and saw the very noisy, busy street. I also saw the very "partial" view of the ocean, but the street was the bulk of the view. The noise from the traffic and the view of the street angered me so I immediately called down to the desk. No one picked up so I called again. No response. I told my son we were not accepting the room so we went back to the desk and waited till after the representative finished with another guest. I explained to her that I was not happy with the room, that I specifically paid for the room with the "pool view" and that's what I wanted. I normally wouldn't do this, but honestly between walking past the construction and the noisy street, I would not have enjoyed my stay. She changed our room and when we walked to it, I was extremely happy. The room was significantly smaller, but it was closer to the pool and when we walked out the room we had a gorgeous view of the ocean. Our surroundings were very peaceful and I could hear the waves all night. The air conditioning worked perfectly. Our neighbors were quiet and everyone was pleasant. We had to make reservations for the pool, which was great. They wanted to make sure the pool didn't get crowded and everyone respected that. Every staff member we interacted with wore masks and were very courteous. The grounds were meticulously clean and the views were gorgeous. A couple days into our stay we went to another side of the island to go snorkeling. The beach was overcrowded and very busy. We had fun but both were extremely happy to get back to our quiet hotel. The beach outside our hotel was quiet, very few people. The reason they got a four instead of five stars was because of our check-in experience, the fact that they charge for parking (I did not know this until checking in), and the very slow bathroom drain. They did offer to fix it, but we were in and out the room and did not want the bothered with the workmen. Overall, we both had a pretty good experience. I would consider staying again mostly because the very quiet, almost private beach. Plus the amazing restaurant next door (Tante's Island Cuisine). It just really depends on my next trip.

This place is in a nice location but it's just expensive in my opinion. The room was clean, the pillows were comfy and the air con blows cold. They put the remote console in a plastic bag to protect everyone probably since we all know they are the most infested item in a hotel room. There's a little coffee maker and all the dogs to make yourself a cup which is always nice to get your day started. This last visit I had to pay $15/night for parking. If you go to the restaurant on-site, they give you 10% off so I guess that's a plus too. Don't recall if there are any restrictions though. I did think at night, the pool looks really dope. They have purple lights in it. My favorite part was just sitting outside and listening to the ocean. The workers are very nice too. No real gripes except the cost but then again it's Maui so suck it up and enjoy the stay.

Awesome customer service!! And nice hotel. Didn't use the amenities as much but wish I would've! Lovely Views!

The lobby and pool was pretty, however, rooms are pretty outdated where we stayed. We booked pretty late but it came with a rental car and Maui seaside was only a 6 min drive to the airport. There is additional parking on the left of the hotel entrance instead of the right. If your room is near the back of the hotel you can use your room key to access the big gray doors in the middle of the parking lot next to Tante's. For the room itself, my friend and I were in an out everyday so we didn't care too much but we had ants in our room and in the bathroom. A roach was on the stairs. Pros were they had a mini fridge to keep your food and drinks cool!

Nice service and great pool. Easy access to beach and shops. Airport is very close. Rooms are clean too. Can't complain.

Hidden gem. Located directly on the beach. Beautiful pool. Manicured lawns. Excellent staff. Jo Ann the security guard is a great addition to the property and offers great local food suggestions. The staff will make you feel right at home. In room fridges are a definite plus and the rooms ac can make it as cold as you could possibly want. Close proximity to the airport so super convenient. And late at night we made a friend with a little local cat running around. Great place!!!!

A gem...near airport and great staff. Comfortable stay and loved the firepits! Quiet and near fun restaurants. No car needed.

We arrive at the hotel, and from the outside, the main hotel doesn't look too bad. Newly rennovated with a pool by the water; that is the end of our pleasant stay at the seaside hotel. After eventually paying over $400 after being quoted $300 (supposed "resort fees"), we were assigned a room in a separate building that, both exterior and interior, was of much lower quality. We attempted to enter the building but struggled as one of our key cards did not work. Once we entered the building, the halls were covered with construction residue and filled with construction workers. I understand that renovations were taking place, however there was no way to get to our room without walking through these hazards, and there were no signs pointing to where we needed to go to access our room. Once we arrived to our room, it immediately smelled of mildew and was not very clean. There are no comforters to be found, only sheets. I entered the bathroom and found the shower to be dirty and moldy. I wore shoes in the shower, and about 15 seconds after turning on the shower head, it did not drain. There are no extra locks on the doors, which with non-hotel workers present, would have been nice as they likely have access to all rooms. Not sure if the restaurant next to the hotel is affiliated, but that was an awful experience as well. We have only been here 1.5 hours and this is what I have to say so far. Steer clear of this hotel, at least until their renovations are done. Even then I'm not sure it'd be great. This hotel should be max $150-200 per night, even by Hawaii standards. Charging over $400 for this quality is quite literally insane.

Choosing a hotel to stay at the first night of my first time in Maui seemed stressful. Most of the options are expensive and have mixed reviews. I can confidently give Maui Seaside Hotel a five star rating and here's why. Cleanliness is most important to me and my standards were met. The beds are clean and fresh, the bathrooms also clean and with nice marble counters. I didn't see a single bug anywhere in my room. The best part is being so close to the water. The view from my room is incredible and a beach walk is literally 60 seconds away. The staff is helpful and friendly. There is plenty of outdoor and patio seating with hot and cold water available in the lobby. As far as pricing goes this is one of the most affordable options. Local restaurants and shops including a Whole Foods are a short walk away, less than half a mile. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone coming through Maui and I would be happy to stay here again.

Not the cleanest hotel. More like a motel. Stains on carpet, smells a bit stale. I noticed the bathroom vent above the shower is a vent that connects directly to the room next door. You can hear everything your neighbor is doing while in the bathroom so no privacy there. Paid over $200 for a standard room, one night stay. Average hotel - not worth the money and I didn't feel safe outside at night as a solo female traveller but at least the sheets were white, there's hot water and A/C.

I'm going to start off by saying, DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. I'm not going to lie, I booked this hotel becuase we needed one more night near the airport. When we first drove up, I was hesitant after seeing the outside of the building. As soon as I walked up to the front desk I was relieved and impressed. Mazi, the front desk receptionist, was Soooooooo sweet and helpful. First, she helped us upgrade our room to a king. Second, she told us about their hospitality suite that allows you to use the room the day you check out. That way you can come back and freshen up after your day at the beach. Lastly, she recommended a delicious place for us to eat for dinner. Oh yeah and she helped me with the laundry mat after hours. This is where Unlce Hidey comes in! He is the security guard who went out of his way to help us with everything. He patiently waited for me to finish washing and drying my laundry after hours. He answered all questions we had and made us feel t home. The only reason I gave 4 stars was because the place is a bit outdated. It's all very clean and nice just needs a facelift. Overall great experience and best way to spend out last day on Maui!

First impression of this hotel was meh. First day, we just went straight to the room, settled our things and went out for dinner. It wasn't until the next day that I did a bit of exploring around the property. Its a small lot and the buildings (outside as well as inside) looked pretty dated. The lobby/front desk area, along with the pool looks very nice and modern. I'm a no frills, bells or whistles kind of hotel guest. Although I do appreciate it when its there, it is not a must. Room, bed, shower, & outlets are pretty much all thats needed for me. This hotel was enough, for me. The pool was a nice extra for the kids. The view of the beach right beyond the pool was gorgeous! There's a fire pit and ample amount of chairs & umbrellas available. Pool does go my reservation and with a quick call to front desk we were easily able to reserve a hr slot for same day a few hrs ahead. Staff were all very nice and accommodating, even chatted a bit with one of the maintenance workers about his nick name "Hidey". We asked for extra towels and blankets and it was no problem. One thing to keep in mind is that cleaning service is by request only. Overall, we had all the things necessary for a decent hotel stay. Since I'm one of those that would rather be out exploring, I say we would stay here again if we ever visit the island in the future. Depending on what type of traveler/vacationer you are, my recommendation would probably be to look elsewhere if your priority is "lavish and luxurious" only. Just the basics here hunny.

1. Room was on third floor of old, run down building 2. Room had ants 3. Guest services was out of many common amenities like toothpaste when we were there 4. I found ants in our room 5. Walls to rooms are so thin that I could hear neighbors conversations and had to call room service to request a neighbor turn down their TV one night.

Our room was clean but I can see how insects can get in. (See other reports) The door has quite a big gap and it seems commonplace for people to bring in food from outside. There is no cooking in the unit we were in. We were also in an old section that may have been given a fresh coat of paint. Everything worked from the TV to shower. It has a pool and nice vista. The waiting area at the reception is very nice and airy. Checking in and out can be done via email. It is quite expensive but this is driven by what people are prepared to pay.

While there is a newer section, my wife and I were lucky enough to receive an assignment into room 3020 --"the vintage section of the resort." We are fairly certain the mattress was also a cherished antique of 30 plus years. --My back completely sucks today which is highly atypical. Soooo.... If you want to experience a truly realistic Hawaiian treat with high heat & humidity (despite the window unit screeching all night), crawling ants in the room and hammock sleeping bunks --book immediately. Otherwise we recommend trying another "resort." We won't be back to the Maui Seaside.

We stayed at this quaint little hotel on the last night of our Maui trip because we wanted to be close to the airport. We absolutely wish we had booked our entire trip here! If you are looking for a posh resort, this is not for you. But if you want a peaceful setting, clean rooms with comfortable beds, and the friendliest staff anywhere, then Maui Seaside Hotel is your place! The rooms are small (as is common with older hotels), but the wiring has been updated so there are plenty of outlets for electronics - something I struggle to find in most hotels. Spring for the extra dollars to pay for a pool side room. The openness of the area is so worth it, and you get a great view of the beach and ocean. You do have to pay for daily parking, but the room prices are so reasonable that I felt the parking pricing was fair. There is a wonderful sitting area off the office that looks onto the charming pool, and we spent quite a bit of time relaxing in the swinging chairs. We truly did not want to leave - it was just the best way to end our Maui vacation.

My family and I booked this place as just a place to take a quick shower and nap before our flight because it's so close near the airport. We were so happy with our stay! The staff were all sooo amazing !! Shout out to Mazi at the front desk and Heidi the security guy! Such friendly people and so helpful! We stayed in the newly remodeled room and it was so roomy, clean, had a little family room, tiny mini kitchen with microwave, fridge, and sink. They had a laundry room we were able to wash and dry our clothes but keep in mind it doesn't take coins, only can pay via QR code on your phone. Also, they have a hospitality room for after hours which I have never seen in any hotel I have stayed at and it was SOOO... helpfully to use after we checked out and needed to wash up after our trip to the beach. They also held our suitcases until our red eye. Reason I give 4 stars and not 5 is solely because the parking sucks there and I know the building is old and a lot of rooms still need updating. The staff said they are doing a complete remodel by next year. I would most definitely stay here again! Right in the middle of everything and close to the airport, mall, harbor, etc.

LOVE!! Love this hotel. The room is very clean and nice. The location is perfect and convenient to travel around the island. Easy to go west bound and east bound. Surrounded with foods, shopping mall, Costco, airport, etc. staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast at restaurant is unbelievable with full menus. Will definitely go back and stay this hotel again.

Ugh, I fell for the bright shiny lovely photos and we got a musty, outdated, icky room off a dark hallway. It's advertised as "poolside" but it's just a window that you don't want to leave open because everyone can see in your room. Front desk staff is nice, but don't expect room service daily - especially if you aren't able to ask before 9 and you do need to request it daily if that's what you want. The curtains cover the air conditioner in the window so you have to get creative getting that out of the way if you want to cool the room down. The toilets are old, stained and don't always flush fully. The tub/shower drains poorly as well. The rooms are TINY as heck. And the construction noise and yelling by staff EARLY in the morning is maddening. The bathroom had an open vent/window that you can't close and it lets alllll the noise in. We had white noise playing on 4 different phones and it still didn't drown everything out. The supply closet was near our room and we could hear so much talking super early in the mornings. Pair that with construction next door and it wasn't a great time. Please be honest about your rooms, it's such a bait and switch situation here.

Honestly a very underrated hotel. My boyfriend and I came for the weekend from Oahu on a mini vacation. I picked the place because we planned on just spending the nights there and all our time out. The hotel sends a free shuttle to pick you up from OCC and a free shuttle back if you request it. If you rent a car it's only $15 a day, which coming from Honolulu where you can be paying up to $50 to park a day that's a DEAL. If you don't rent a car, walk about 15 minutes to the nearest bus stop at Queen Ka'ahumanu Canter and pay $4 for an all day pass. The busses go all around the island and to the biggest attractions/hikes. We went to the west side for a day and that sure beat spending $58 on an Uber one way. I was super surprised, the lobby and outside pool area is beautiful and clean. The rooms are clean and well kept. And the staff is SO nice and accommodating. I read a lot of reviews of people saying there were bugs and ants, I'm sorry but that's island life here, but there was none of that. During the day the sun is beautiful by the pool and the beach is right there to enjoy. The hotel has lawn games to play and chairs to tan in. At night they light the fire pits and there is comfy seating to listen to the ocean and the wind in the trees. There's a restaurant with great food for all meal times and you get a discount if you stay at the hotel. There are plenty of stores and other restaurants around too if you prefer that. For the price that it is, it's an absolute steal. I've stayed in plenty of hotels around all the islands, and if you aren't looking to spend $600+ per night at a resort, MSH is by far one of the best place I've found. I will be coming back for sure!

Tonight is our last night of the week staying here at the Maui Seaside Hotel. Will be sad to go. We really loved staying here. It's small, Low key and has everything we need. The pool was clean and clear and fresh. No chemical smell! The grounds were kept immaculate and the room was perfectly clean and attended to by cheerful staff every day. They are very professional and friendly. The hotel is located right on the beach. There is a grassy area and then a slight drop down to beautiful sand and a pretty calm beach. We are here in the winter and even the worst day of waves was still swimmable. There is a fantastic restaurant for breakfast and lunch attached to the hotel. There is a very nice dinner restaurant across the street with a bar that's fun, and grocery shopping within a quarter-mile either direction across the street. There's a big drug store that has great prices and liquor and pretty much everything you need. Also right across the street is a little market with Asian foods and very nice fruit and vegetables.

I needed a last minute room and thankfully found one here. Most everything was beautifully updated, except the inside of my room. My poolside room #115 was strangely textured behind the bed and on the ceiling, and the window air conditioner wasn't new. However it was cool, clean, had nice soft bedding, and had everything I needed. The pool was wonderful, and right next to the beach. There were comfortable lounge chairs, umbrellas, and a fire pit. There was grass that was so fine it seemed like carpet, short and manicured. The restaurant was great, and you get a discount it mention you're staying there. Definitely book online to get a $50 per day discount per night. I walked up at 11pm without a reservation and paid extra.

I would have expected this level of rapscallion hoodwinking bait and switch from a lesser priced hotel, of which there were a few on the night in question. I was greeted by a modern updated boho sheik flowing breezeway, which led to the beautiful pool and beachfront, through a corridor, over the river and through the woods to a separate detached 3rd story building. I wish I could say that it just hadnt been updated, however this is not the case. It has been updated recently, by someone with zero handy work skills on a severely truncated budget. Shitty thin towels, scratchy sheets, garbage finishes on everything from shower to sink, fridge to AC. Sad, sad, sad. Not worth the $300 price tag. Buyer beware, I've stayed in nicer holiday inns in Las Vegas for $29.

Pros: Hotel staff was nice. Bed was comfy. Cons: NO HOT WATER. For the amount paid for the pool-side rooms, having to take cold showers the entire time we were there is extremely frustrating and unfortunate. I had voiced my concerns the after the 1st night and was told maintenance would reset the water heater. This did not help and the rest of our stay was spent taking cold showers. For $500 per night, this was not worth the price. We stayed there because our group had arranged to stay there. I will not be staying there again in the future.

I just wanted air conditioning... I like the effect of the extra cold air that you get in a hotel room... This is my second room and maintenance has been called twice for each room. Don't depend on the AC... The solution was to turn the ceiling fan to the highest setting... This dries my contacts out and makes it impossible to watch television or explore the Internet. I have not enjoyed my stay but Maui is certainly amazing and I love this place. Hopefully my home will be ready soon.

Arrived on NYE to spend one night before moving to my timeshare in Kaanapali. I booked on Hotels.com after reading positive reviews on Yelp, though skeptical because I'm typically not one to approve of a budget hotel experience. Let me tell you this place is just perfect after a long flight. You're exhausted, but guess what?! MSH is conveniently located just a few miles from OGG. Very kind lady at check in. Small fee if you are parking a vehicle, which is to be expected. I loved the water dispenser in the lobby and refillable tumblers in the room. The room was small, but very clean, beds comfortable. Literally my only complaint was the height of the shower head could be problematic for taller folks. There's a restaurant attached to the hotel, which is a nice convenience. I stayed in the building furthest from the pool which wasn't a concern to me due to my very short stay, but if you are staying longer I recommend spending more for the nicer view of the pool/ocean. 100% I would stay here again!

Unless the only thing you care about is proximity to the airport, I would strongly encourage you to stay somewhere else. The cockroaches and other insects in and around the hotel rooms were pretty off-putting. Parking/maneuvering through the parking lot is a pain, especially if your vehicle is large. There is no safe in the rooms -- not the end of the world, but definitely useful when traveling with passports or other things you don't want to carry around 24/7. What was extra frustrating for me is that the hotel staff moved my coworkers and me to different rooms to be closer to the teenagers we were chaperoning (this part was fine), but after initially giving us all evening to move our stuff at our convenience, informed us that we'd only have until the top of the hour -- 30-35 minutes away -- to be out of our original rooms. At this point, we stopped what we were doing and immediately headed to our rooms...only to discover that the keys had already been deactivated. With my coworker/roommate picking up dinner for the large group, I did my best to move our suitcases, toiletries, and everything we had already unpacked to our new rooms as quickly as possible. I finished up -- or at least I thought I had -- just in time. I would have liked being able to do one final review of the room, but the key had once again been deactivated. The next morning, I couldn't find my laptop charger and realized I had most likely left it under the bed. The next 48 hours were disappointing, as either the front desk folks (who had been the cause of this entire situation) or the cleaning staff failed to communicate with the other. At one point, after being told that the cleaning staff had not discovered anything left behind, I started to question myself: in my haste of packing and moving to the new room, had I put my charger in an unusual pocket of a bag? That seemed unlikely, but I tore apart all my things looking for it. Only after I spoke to multiple managers at different times of the day did I finally get my charger back from the lost and found. Simply put, the hotel reeked of unprofessionalism. Pluses: 1) The hotel is just a couple miles from the airport. 2) There is a pool. Negatives: Everything else.

I really had a pleasant stay I enjoyed my trip. The staff was really friendly. The only thing that I was just confused was when I booked my stay i selected I wanted the superior room which I was so confused cause the room that I got didn't look like what the website had and the room I ended up getting look like a downgrade "MOTEL" which I kinda didn't wanted to be that person so goes out-there and makes a whole scene which I should of have complained but just because the staff was great and I also work in hospitality I would hate to be one of those GUEST but other than that I think you guys should actually take pictures of what the rooms really do look like. But other that that the pool was nice and clean/. Bonfire was great beach access wonderful/ great view.

I just recently stayed at the Maui Seaside Hotel in room 112-three nights it had roaches it was disgusting. They only took off one night because they put me in another room the next night. I would not stay there again ever.

Common areas are decent, but the rooms are small with terrible mattresses that you sink into until you hit springs. This hotel has a pest control problem as well. Not uncommon for the islands; at the rates charged here not acceptable. Aviento 1 estrella.
